From the 1980s music videos have gained popularity among fans and music executives. Allowing the fans to watch their favorite artists perform in their very own video, it also gives the artist free promo and also allows them to use product placement to their advantage and charge large companies to have the products involved and seen in the video.
New music videos are made everyday so their is a wide choice to inspire the audience.
Lady Gaga-Telephone

Lady Gagas' video for Telephone has a film like quality and a narrative. Featuring Beyonce it continues from Lady Gagas' other video 'Paparazzi'. With high energy dance scenes and an interesting narrative it stands out as not just a music video but a short film.
Lily Allen-Shezus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kPQiAJv4f
Green screen was used for all the effects in Lily Allens video for Shezus. A cartoon overlay was used to create the unique look of the video. Bright colours and styles help to create this simple yet effective music video. I really like the concept of the video but I feel the look would take a lot of technology to create (technology I don't have access to)
Lady Gaga-Applause

A video driven by concept and dance alone it switches very quickly from many different scenes. Created by photographers Inez and Vinoodh it is described as a fight between black and white and colour.

Natalia Kills-Zombie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e-J7nViJU8
A mix of concept and narrative, Zombie uses key lyrics and highlights them with extreme close-ups of Natalia Kills mouth. This video also uses the idea of public censorship to create a supernatural and mysterious video.

With the new upbeat and electric sound of the Pet Shop Boys latest album they created an equally electric concept video for their latest single. Using symbolism and lasers it creates an interesting and bright video, although not suitable for those with epilepsy.
Scissor Sisters-Filthy/Gorgeous

with their raunchy lyrics and equally raunchy and outrageous video the scissor sisters caused a bit of a stir when it was first released.
